As soon as we got there, he made us bagels with haggis. If you don't know what haggis is, don't even bother asking...just give it a try. Here's Taylor giving it a go. Don't let the face fool you...she found it lovely.
We went up to Arthur's seat which overlooks Edinburgh. It's a 10 minute hike uphill, and Scotty smoked the whole way up. Now that's a true Scotsman.
I love old cemeteries. Scotland has some incredible ones, including the fella here:
Scottish stunts! Pretty similar to American stunts, but backwards:
Kieran "K-Dog" Burchell was in full effect. Another great dude that I've known for a few years. He does stunts, too. No big deal.
We did a whole lot of relaxing in Scott's "Beer Garden of Love." Drank beers, talked shop, and enjoyed each others' company. We had to coach his son Elliot to talk slower so we could understand him. Elliot also hung up our laundry, which is seen here in the background. The last person to handle my underpants hasn't been heard from since. Good on ya' mate.
Next stop: Wakefield, UK!
Putting some miles behind us:
Looks like you guys are having so much fun. What great picutres. Hey, my husband Jason and I tried to play "Schnieder" between Portland and Lincoln City-he kicked my butt which I attribute to him working in the freight transportation industry. We did have a couple of questions about rules: a) what happens in the instance of a "false Schnieder" and b) is is the first person to say Schnider, or just point to a Schnider truck (sip of coffee in one's mouth, talking on a cell phone, etc.) Anyway, when you're back we can get the official rules. Keep on having heaps of fun, as it appears you are doing.
